A nice apartment to live in while you're in London! It had almost every facilities you need and is located in a good area, the tube was just around the corner. We thought that kitchen missed a few necessary facilities to make a "bigger" dinner, but over all A very good studio to stay in!

It is said that London is not a city at all but a collection of villages that have been condensed and pushed together to form a vast urban sprawl. Each area, no matter how built up it might be, has its own unique character with green spaces and even country-style pubs in which it is hard to believe you are not far from the city centre. In a holiday apartment in Kilburn you can live like a local in a distinctly Irish neighbourhood as it was here that people came when they left Ireland for a new life in London. Although it now has a diverse, multi-cultural society, the area is still known as Little Dublin for the number of Irish pubs located there and its annual St.Patrick’s Day celebrations.
